This paper discusses the study of early delivery of anencephalic fetus. It is based on the Allegation of Breach of Fundamental Precept No. 54, which seeks to legalize this. Furthermore, it discusses the conduct of pregnant women, and argues that this procedure is considered atypical: these cases would not qualify as abortion, because for fetuses with this anomaly there is no expectation of extra-uterine life. However, it emphasizes the autonomy of the pregnant woman charging her for deciding on the anticipation or not of childbirth. The analyses of this study are based on personality rights and constitutional principles, both in relation to the fetus, as compared to the women. It also discusses the issue of abortion in Brazil and clarifies the concept of anencephaly.
